Creating an MRS User
Use IAM to implement fine-grained permission control over your MRS. With IAM, you can:
- Create IAM users under your Huawei Cloud account for employees based on your enterprise's organizational structure so that each employee is allowed to access MRS resources using their unique security credential (IAM user).
- Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
- Entrust a Huawei Cloud account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your MRS resources.
If your Huawei Cloud account does not require IAM users, skip this section.
This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).
Prerequisites
Learn about the permissions supported by MRS by referring to Permission Management. For the permissions of other services, see Permission Description.
Process Flow
- Creating a User Group and Assigning Permissions
Create a user group on the IAM console, and assign MRS permissions to the group.
- .
Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1. Create a user group and assign permissions to it.
- Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to the console by using the user created, and verify that the user has the granted permissions.
- Choose Service List > Analytics > MapReduce Service. Click Buy Cluster on the MRS console. If you fail to buy an MRS cluster (assume that you only have the MRS ReadOnlyAccess permission), the MRS ReadOnlyAccess policy has taken effect.
- Choose any other service in Service List. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to access the service, the MRS ReadOnlyAccess policy has already taken effect.
MRS Permission Description
By default, new IAM users do not have any permissions. To assign permissions to a user, add the user to one or more groups and assign permissions policies or roles to these groups. The user then inherits permissions from the groups it is a member of and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions.
MRS is a project-level service deployed and accessed in specific physical regions. To assign permissions to a user group, specify Scope as Region-specific projects and select projects in the corresponding region for the permissions to take effect. If All projects is selected, the permissions will take effect for the user group in all region-specific projects. When accessing MRS, the users need to switch to a region where they have been authorized to use the MRS service.
You can grant permissions by using roles and policies.
- Roles: A type of coarse-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions related to user responsibilities. This mechanism provides only a limited number of service-level roles for authorization. When using roles to grant permissions, you need to also assign other roles on which the permissions depend to take effect. However, roles are not an ideal choice for fine-grained authorization and secure access control.
- Policies: A type of fine-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions required to perform operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions. This mechanism allows for more flexible policy-based authorization, meeting requirements for secure access control. For example, you can grant MRS users only the permissions for performing specified operations on MRS clusters, such as creating a cluster and querying a cluster list rather than deleting a cluster. Most policies define permissions based on APIs. For the API actions supported by MRS, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions.
